Dream in a dream

Date: 10/23/2016

I saw a man standing in my bedroom doorway. I didn't recognize him. He stared at me for a long time and seemed confused. He had something in his hand, a newspaper perhaps? After several moments he walked past my bed and into my bathroom. That's when I realized I was dreaming, so I began to force myself awake. I rolled over to my husband and told him about the dream. What happened next escapes me now, but what's important is that I realized I was still dreaming. It was something insignificant, some minor detail like a 6th finger that screamed "you're still asleep". So again I forced myself awake. I told my husband about the first and second dreams. He told me that the second dream had really happened. Does that mean the first could have been real as well?
